Marcia was preceded in death by her parents, Seymour and Muriel Thimsen. Marcia was born in Fort Jackson, South Carolina where her father was stationed before being deployed during World War II. She grew up in Minnetonka and graduated from Hopkins High School in 1962. Marcia attended Augsburg College where she studied Home Economics. She married Robert Noble in 1966. She taught in West St. Paul for two years. However, her greatest joy and calling were found in nurturing her four beautiful children.

In retirement, she enjoyed gardening, knitting, traveling, and genealogy. She was also a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
